lyrics

I stopped drinking beer during the week.
I stopped drinking whiskey altogether.
I stopped riding rails, I stopped chasing tails.
Got nothing left to do but write songs.

I stopped pouring vodka in my juice.
I stopped smoking weed before I go to work.
I'll have to say no to them hookers and that blow.
Got nothing left to do but write songs.

Write songs about my family, songs about the things that bother me.
Songs that I could never ever talk about,
Got nothing left to do but write songs.

I went to church instead of the bar.
I started reading the good book, but didn't get that far.
Preacher says I'm going to hell, but he's got salvation for sale.
I think I need a drink and some songs.

Songs about my family, songs about the things that bother me.
Songs that I could never ever talk about,
Got nothing left to do but write songs.
